  <text>From a Microsoft Blog:

There are few tools I would say that I use *every* day. This is one of them.
ERR.exe is a tool I use all the time to look up error codes. When someone
gives me an error code, the first thing I do is toss it in err so I know
what I'm looking at. For example:

&lt;code&gt;C:tools&gt;err 8402
# for decimal 8402 / hex 0x20d2 :
  SQL_8402_severity_16                                          sql_err
# The data type of the '%s' must be '%s'. '%s' is not
# allowed.
  ERROR_DS_CANT_CACHE_CLASS                                     winerror.h
# The class could not be cached.
# 2 matches found for "8402"
&lt;/code&gt;

Note that it doesn't just look in a single .h....it looks in  many at once! And not just Windows either. Very handy.

Happy ERRing!</text>
